You can certainly try an equalizer, which may give you what you want. I started with a Sonos Connect and added a DAC and eventually replaced the Sonos as well. The Port is probably better than the Connect, but my eyes were opened pretty wide when I replaced the Connect. It may depend on how resolving your system is, but an upgrade might give you the sound you are seeking.
Preamp, Amp, Tone?
I have Sonos Port connected to my Preamp, which is connected to my) Amp, a Sub, and 2 speakers. System also has (finally bought) a nice turntable and CD player. Lately, I'm finding I use the Port as a streamer for majority of listening (I digitized most of my CD library). The sound is good, but lately I find I want to adjust the tone of the music, as previously my integrated amp did that. What component(s) should I consider (besides tube rolling which I've not yet tried) for adjusting tone? Should I consider another DAC? An equalizer of some kind? Forget about the Port? Any and all suggestions are welcome!
